WpBookingly is a WordPress plugin used for managing service bookings and appointments.

Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in the Magepeople inc. WpBookingly plugin for WordPress through version 1.2.9. The flaw stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels, which fail to properly validate user permissions before executing specific functions. An attacker with high-level privileges (such as an Author) can exploit this over the network without user interaction to perform unauthorized administrative actions, potentially impacting the integrity and availability of the service. The issue is resolved in version 1.3.0.
